Our paper on gut bacterial competition is out Cell Host & Microbe. Another very cool D-BIOL @ ETH Zurich & Universität Zürich collaboration with fantastic colleagues and friends involved. Huge thanks to Swiss National Science Foundation NCCR Microbiomes & EMBO Fellows for the continuous support. cell.com/cell-host-micr…

Out today, Cell Host & Microbe! Microbiomes have many benefits, but they are also often incredibly diverse and variable. This makes them hard to understand and even harder to engineer. In our new review, we argue that the key may lie in microbial metabolism! sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
